AgroPages-Food Standards Australia New Zealand consults on GM corn line-Agricultural news

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) recently called for submissions on an application from DuPont Pioneer to allow food derived from a genetically modified corn line. The public comments will be closed on 14 July 2015.

FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said the corn line had been genetically modified to be tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, and for protection against common corn pests.

“FSANZ has completed its safety assessment on this application and found there were no potential public health or safety concerns,” Mr McCutcheon said.

“FSANZ has determined that food derived from this corn line is as safe for human consumption as food derived from conventional corn cultivars.”
